There's quite a few differences. Basically, JomSocial focuses on the 'social' aspects on your site with Facebook integration added on, while JFBConnect focuses on Facebook integration solely. There are many user's who are very happy with JomSocial's Facebook integration, but for extra features and capabilities, that's where we shine.

The big problem I see when I use JomSocial's Facebook integration is 1.Members are hard to login with this integration. maybe they have to try login two or three times when they want to login and sometime they cannot. The pop up will disappear after they try to login but it's not success. 2.It's not remember login. They have to login every time when they come to my site. Is there any problem with jfbconnect?

Yup. Those are definitely problems that are mentioned frequently with JomSocial's integration. Some people can live with it. Others choose to upgrade to JFBConnect. Specifically:
1) No, we don't have this issue, and if you run into it for some reason on your site (it's not something we ever hear of), we'd help you fix it so it doesn't happen again.
2) We have a auto-login functionality, where if the user is logged into Facebook, it will log them into your site automatically (if they already logged in through Facebook previously).

JFBConnect v7.0.3 is available now with some great improvements to the best social network integration extension for Joomla. This is the last expected update to the 7.0 release until the 7.1 version, planned for Q4. Read on for all the details of this release and what's coming for JFBConnect later this year. https://www.sourcecoast.com/blog/jfbconnect-v7-0-3-what-s-coming

Between August 3rd and 4th, the Joomla project put out 2 new releases for the 3.6 series and 3 blog posts explaining the changes and how to update.

Joomla's caching system can be a huge benefit to your site, but can also cause a lot of headaches. The advantages are obvious: an overall better user experience, faster load times, less powerful server requirements and more. Let's talk about some of the pain-points that you should know about when trying to get Joomla's caching setup. https://www.sourcecoast.com/blog/common-joomla-caching-issues

With the launch of v2.0 of the Facebook Graph API over 2 years ago, a new review process was also implemented for all Facebook Applications. The review process is Facebook's way to verify that deeper integration features on your site are abiding by Facebook's Terms of Service. There's a lot to understand about the process and some of it may surprise you. Some JFBConnect features like posting to your Facebook Page usually don't even need to go through the review process. For the features that do need review, what's the process and how do you proceed? Read our blog post to find out. https://www.sourcecoast.com/blog/facebook-app-review-process-step-by-step
